Either you need the power or you don't. The 13" Pro satisfies neither option.

As far as the Touch Bar is concerned, I fail to see the point any longer. While I still think the tech is fun and has lots of potential, the software industry just hasn't shown any compelling interest, and so it is waning. And who wants to invest a ton of money into a vanishing technology? Yet, that's what you're paying the extra $200 for. That, and a fan. If you need a fan, though, you're buying the wrong computer. Which really does bring it all back to the Touch Bar, and it's just not worth $200, IMO.

Get an Air (M1) or get a 14" Pro.

Or, if you like shiny and new, get the new 2022 Air. All of its bits are worth $200 over the M1 version, and it's well worth saving $200 over the 13" MBP.
